ROFLMAO! I was really tempted to do that at one
point!!
I finally figured out the problem... sorta. In the
device manager it was showing the new video card and the old onboard graphics
stuff. I disabled the old one, rebooted, and the task bar was there.
The old one now has a red X next to it.. but I'm not gonna stress over that
right now. Tyler is reinstalling his game, we'll see what happens from
there.
What a PITA it's been and this all started *before* I had my
first cuppa coffee in me this morning. Maybe that was the problem.. do
nothing until first pot is consumed!
Thanks for the link, couldn't find what I needed there, but
I'm keeping the link to the main site for future reference.

Might I suggest ........ "FDISK" ?
======================
Got a problem with a fairly new computer. Got it last
Christmas for hubby, but it's barely been used. Tyler wanted to install Flight
Simulator 3 and the install went well but said video card wasn't
compatible. It was onboard video and sound. So I put a new video
card (NVIDIA GeForce4 MX 420) and sound card in it, and over-rode the
onboard for those devices. All worked fine. ; Everything picked up
nicely and shows in the device manager as working correctly.
Next, the game came up and the first error message was gone
and replaced with, "CFS3 Configuration Override file outdated", so I bounced
over here to my computer (only computer that has internet connection) went to
Google and got to this site
Any idea? ; I have uninstalled the game and I have not put
the updated stuff that I got from the above site (and put on disk) on to the
computer yet.
Below is the specs on the computer I'm having problems
with. (Please no slams as to the brand, or the CPU unless it's pertinent
to the problem. It's a computer that is used by someone [or not used as
the case may be] that doesn't know much about computers, nor does he need a high
end computer.)
